The top US envoy to Africa has said the forced removal of people from Kenya's Rift Valley after last month's disputed presidential poll was ethnic cleansing.
Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Jendayi Frazer also denounced the continuing violence which has since forced thousands to flee their homes.
She urged President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga to focus on mediation efforts to end the crisis.
Formal negotiations between the two parties were due to begin on Wednesday.
But unconfirmed reports in the Kenyan media say the talks, brokered by former UN chief Kofi Annan, have now been delayed until Thursday because neither side can agree on an agenda.
